Has anyone had any success at all recently in recovering data from
Wabash-branded floppies?
I haven't. The binder on these things has gone to Hades and the
oxide will flake off if you so much as touch it with a drive.
Yesterday, I thought I'd try again after swearing off of the things,
as the disks in question were 10-sector rather than soft-sector. I
wondered if 10-sector being rarer than the soft-sector variety might
not be different.
No soap. That grinding sound, accompanied by dirty heads tells me
that *no* Wabash disk is worth touching.
Anyone got any secrets for these?
Cheers,
